journeying to a more natural way of living

quickly painted a sign to go out front advertising our eggs for sale. sold 2 dozen to a neighbor up the road who said, "i'm so glad you have eggs for sale!" which is weird, because i've had so many eggs for so long but just didn't have a sign. another neighbor said the same thing, as though they've all been waiting for me to sell eggs. they could have just stopped and asked lol. so yay for signs!

got sooo much reading to do for class. actually on to the nitty gritty of school now. finished those first 2 years of classes that mean nothing to my degree, which means finished the easy classes that i didn't have to learn anything for lol. but now, well, now i have to read and read and read, because now i have to learn. i read a lot anyway, but in small increments and stuff i don't have to pass tests on. to read to learn, to read to learn to pass tests, requires a whole different kind of reading, one that includes volumes of notes and an awake brain. that kind of reading is tough with dogs, chickens, kids, baseball, gardening, planting, etc., etc.! at least the subject matter is interesting!

saw a meme on FB about some judge who sentenced a rich dude to probation for raping his 3 year old because he "wouldn't fare well in prison". isn't that the point of prison? so that pedophiles don't "fare well". i know what i'd like to do to a dude who raped a 3 year old. were i already in prison, those visions would likely come to fruition. those visions include lots and lots and lots of mop handles.....

the weather has turned lovely! picked up some baby kale, spinach, and chinese cabbage yesterday, got some rainbow chard already sprouted. will put it all in the ground very soon! the collards and kale that self-seeded in the fall and over-wintered under hoop houses are growing wonderfully. ate fresh greens from the garden yesterday. MMMM. kale and eggs. right from my garden. can't beat that, eh!

god i love this dog. she is where i get all my (non-sexual of course) intimacy from. face hugs. warmth. joy in my presence. i love her!
